Lawn Cross Becomes First Amendment Flash Point

LIVINGSTON, N.J. (RNS) It started as a simple gesture.
But it could have implications far beyond the quiet New Jersey street where Patrick Racaniello affixed a wooden cross on a tree in his front yard.
Livingston Township officials say Racaniello's display, which he intended as a celebration of Lent, violated an ordinance that generally prohibits postings on a structure, including a tree, "calculated to attract the attention of the public."
Advised of the ordinance, Racaniello removed the cross. But he then built a second, much larger cross that he planted on his property just within the township's 10-foot right of way. Racaniello, again facing fines, took down that cross, too.
He also contacted the Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund, a coalition of conservative Christian lawyers. The alliance told the township it may take the matter to court if officials don't allow Racaniello to put the cross wherever he wants on his property.
"We believe this is private property, and therefore he has a right to engage in this expression," Jonathan Scruggs, a lawyer for the alliance, said in an interview. "We believe that either cross is protected by the First Amendment."
The judicial outcome of this conflict between an Essex County town and an Arizona legal group, scholars say, could go a long way to determine the reach of a 2000 federal land-use law intended to protect religious expression.
Racaniello, whom neighbors described as an entrepreneur, declined to answer questions, and referred all inquiries to ADF.
Scruggs said he would wait for the township's written response before the alliance decides whether to proceed with litigation.
Township attorney Sharon L. Weiner said the town is enforcing its right of way for the public good.
"It is a distraction to the traveling public," she said of the cross and other postings in the 10-foot buffer.
The town will yield one point to Racaniello. She said the town council will tweak its code to allow residents to fasten a cross on a tree on property not within the right of way.
Weiner emphasized the township was not singling out Racaniello or his display.
"We're very sensitive to his First Amendment rights," she said.
Charles C. Haynes, a First Amendment scholar, said a federal law enacted by Congress a decade ago could trump the township's regulations. In part, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 says government entities cannot impose a land-use regulation that burdens a person's free exercise of religion unless there is "a compelling governmental interest." That regulation must also be the least restrictive to religious practice, the act says.
The burden of proof, in other words, could fall on Livingston, said Haynes, a senior scholar at the nonpartisan First Amendment Center.
"Under current law, I think this guy has a pretty strong case," said Haynes, also the director of the Religious Freedom Education Project at the Washington, D.C.-based Newseum. "I'm not sure what the township thinks is a problem. ... It might mean that the town has a problem."
Because the tree is on Racaniello's property, the town's interest could be particularly difficult to establish, Haynes said.
Should the matter go to court, Haynes said, a ruling would help determine the federal law's reach.
A New York-based constitutional lawyer, Akiva Shapiro, said a court case would likely focus on the township's application of its ordinances apart from this instance.
"At first blush, if somebody had a decorative lawn ornament in their front yard, and those were not targeted, that might suggest some discriminatory application," said Shapiro, who has argued a number of religious freedom cases.
Shapiro, though, said any litigation could also hinge on the First Amendment. "Putting up the cross is an expressive activity," he said, that often finds favor with the courts.
The law passed in 2000, Shapiro said, was meant to ensure those activities were given added protection, which could work in Racaniello's favor. The religious land use act "was passed because Congress wished to give a cushion beyond the First Amendment to religious activity," he said.
But Weiner, a former town council member and a land-use attorney in her private practice, said the township reviewed case law tied to the act, and was skeptical it could be applied successfully in this case.
"That deals with land-use regulations," Weiner said of the act. It would not apply in this instance since the township is not keeping organized religious activity, such as the construction of a church, from taking place, she said.
Weiner, who is preparing a written response to Scruggs' letter, said township officials were disturbed and frustrated at the alliance's apparent effort to make the issue a test case. In doing so, alliance attorneys are unjustly painting the township as intolerant, she said.
"They're making it out that, because it's a cross, we're not allowing it. That's not so. It's a content-neutral regulation," Weiner said. "I'm afraid they're going to make this a cause celebre."

Egyptian Officials Fan Conspiracy Theories against Israel
Dear Jeff,
Recently, the source of an E. coli outbreak that killed four dozen people in Europe was traced to a shipment of infected seeds from Egypt. Rather than apologizing or taking steps to correct the problem, the Egyptian agriculture minister blamed Israel for the problem. "Israel is waging a commercial war against Egyptian exports," he claimed.
This recent statement continues a long trend of conspiracies focused on blaming Egyptian problems on the Jews. The evil forgery The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion remains a perennial best-seller, and the government and the media have used the Jewish people as a scapegoat to distract attention from its own failings. The new government continues to use its control over the press to foment anger and hatred toward Israel.
Egypt is strongly supporting the drive of Palestinians toward a unilateral declaration of statehood. They have opened the border crossing at Gaza which allows weapons from Iran for use by the Hamas terrorists against the Jewish people. Like the other members of the Arab League, Egypt is certain to vote in the United Nations to recognize Palestine as an independent nation with Jerusalem as its capital.
Understand this clearly--every nation and individual that supports the United Nations and Obama Administration plan to curse Israel and steal from her the land God promised the Jews as an eternal possession will suffer His chastisement and judgment. Every nation and individual that opposes this plan and stands with Israel as a blessing to her will enjoy His blessing.
America is on a prophetic countdown to the gravest days in our history. In a few weeks, a vote will be taken at the United Nations that will force America to choose between standing with Israel and standing with her enemies. Israeli leaders have asked the Jerusalem Prayer Team for its support at the United Nations and a week later as the nations of the world gather for the demonic Durban III conference to continue accusing Zionists of being racists. The first Durban Conference happened in 2001. At that conference, the Palestinians distributed copies of the anti-Semitic The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to all delegates. It was the most evil, anti-Semitic UN assembly ever against Israel .
The conference ended on September 8, 2001...and 72 hours later, the US was attacked by Radical Islam. I can assure you that in the spirit realm, this was no coincidence. God's Word promises a curse on any nation that touches Jerusalem. Once before, an American President attempted to divide Jerusalem and surrender the Temple Mount to radical Islam. That president was Bill Clinton. Now President Obama plans to do the same--this time by formally recognizing a Palestine State at the UN in September within days of the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
I do not believe for a second that all the economic and political turmoil America is going through is coincidental. America needs Divine intervention that can only come from God's people standing in the gap like Esther.
In my new book, The Protocols, I reveal how so many of the modern expressions of anti-Semitism trace their roots back to The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. I wrote this thriller, The Protocols, to expose the world to the fact that although it was uncovered as a forgery not long after it was written, millions of people today still accept it as truth...and act on that false belief. My new book is a chilling look at how the tentacles of hatred of Jews reach even into our own country.

This Day…
August 629: In 629 peace was established. In August 629 Heraclius celebrated his triumph in Constantinople. The following spring he travelled south to receive back the Holy Cross and to carry it in pomp to Jerusalem. [2]
629: When Heraclius was in Constantinople in 629, receiving congratulatory embassies from as far afield as France and India, a letter is said to have arrived written to him byt an Arabian chieftain who announced himself as the Prophet of God and bade the Emperor join his faith.. Similar letters were sent to the kings of Persia and Ethiopia AND TO THE Governor of Egypt. [3]
August 6, 1223: Coronation of Louis VIII, the French monarch “who issued an ordinance that prohibited his officials from recording debts owed to Jews” which deprived the Jews of income and set him at odds with Theobald IV, the powerful Count who ruled Champagne.[4]
August 6, 1243: After a ritual murder accusation in Kitzingen, Bavaria (Germany), fifteen Jews were tortured to death. Their corpses lay in the street for a fortnight before they were allowed to be buried. [5]
August 6, 1284: Genoa defeated Pisa at the Battle of Meloria. This battle took place when Genoa was at the height of period “mercantile expansion.” According to Cecil Roth, “Genoa was on the least hospitable and tolerant of Italian states as far as the Jews were concerned.” Not only did the Genoese not encourage the settlement of Jews, they may have actually actively discouraged them from settling so as to avoid introducing business competitors. There was no organized Jewish community in Genoa at this time and in fact, there may have only been two Jews living there. By the 13th century evidence exists that Pisa did have an organized Jewish community of at least 20 families. There are Jewish tombstones embedded in the town walls that date back to the middle of the 13th century. And a synagogue may have been located on the “Alley of the Jews” during this time.[6]
August 6, 1301(5061): Rabbi David ben Avraham Maimuni HaNagid passed away. Known variously as David Maimuni or Rabbi David Hanagid, this Rabbi was the grandson of the Rambam He was born in 1233 and followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father as Nagid or "Prince" over the Jewish congregations in Egypt. He was an ally of the powerful Rabbi of Barcelona, Solomon ben Abraham Ben Adret known as Rashba. In 1285, when those who opposed Rabbi Hanagid sought to depose him, Ben Adret supported his declarations of excommunications. An interesting legend has grown up around the Hanagid concerning these attacks. According to the legend the embattled Rabbi prayed at the cave of Meron in Eretz Yisrael. This cave was also known as the cave of Rabbi Hillel and Shammai. Supposedly its waters had magical powers. When cold water issued forth from the cave in response to the Rabbi’s prayers, he excommunicated five hundred of his opponents. On that day the five hundred who had slandered him in Egypt died. Surely a legend like that would have greatly troubled his rational and compassionate grandfather. Hanagid was scholar. For those of you have read Pirke Avot, you might remember Hillel’s comments about a floating skull. Maimonides' grandson, Rabbi David Hanagid, cited a tradition handed down by "the early ones" that the floating skull belonged to none other than Pharaoh himself. Hillel therefore told him: "Because you commanded that Jewish children be drowned in the Nile, you were drowned." It was specifically Hillel who confronted Pharaoh's skull, since as a reincarnation of Moses he was fit to confront Pharaoh.[7]
1302
Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303) sat on the papal throne. He enriched his relatives at the expenxe of the Chuirch, and both his personal relatives at the expense of the Church, and both his personal character and orthodoxy were repeatedly called into question. Philip IV, King of France, called for a council to judge Boniface on charges of “heresy, blasphemy, murder, sodomy, simony and sorcery (including consorting with a familiar spirit or pet demon), and failure to fast on fast days.” He is reputed to have claimed that “sex with boys and women was no worse than rubbing one hand against another.” A notorious libertine, he once had a married woman and her daughter as his mistresses. E”ven more disturbingly, he was said to have called Christ a “hypocrite,” professed to be an atheist, rejected the resurrection, and claimed the only heaven and hell were here on this earth. In 1302 Boniface issued the bnull Unam Samnctum which outrageously claimed that “it is altogether necessary for salvation for every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”[8]
August 6, 1414: Ladsilas, the King of Naples who offered the Jews offered the Jews a charter which would have given them economic equality, passed away.[9]
August 6, 1760
After a bitter siege, Fort Loudoun in Tennessee surrenders to Indians, during the French and Indian War.[10]
August 6, 1762: Myth meets myth. According to the non-Jewish world the sandwich was born today when the Earl of Sandwich has a servant bring him a piece of meat between two slices of bread so that he can eat without leaving the gambling tables. As anybody who has ever attended a Seder, the Earl was a Johnny-come-lately since Hillel began eating his sandwich – bitter herbs between two pieces of Matzah – during the days of the Second Temple.[11]

This day came as well the PItt. with his Attorney as the deft. in his own proper person who sayeth that he cannot gainsay the pltf. adjoin against him. It is therefore considered by the Court that the pitt. recover against the said deft. the sum of 202 pounds 2 shillings and their costs by them in their behalf expended and the defendant do. But this judgement is to be discharged on the payment of 101 pounds and one shilling with interest to be computed at the rate of 5 percentum per annum from August 6, 1768 till paid and the costs.[13]

Camp on Pamunkey, August 6, 1781
To George Washington from Marquis De Lafayette,
The embarkation which I thought, and do still think, to have been
destined for New York, was reported to have sailed up the bay, and to
be bound for Baltimore; in consequence of which I wrote to your
excellency, and as I had not indulged myself too near Portsmouth, I was
able to cut across towards Fredericksburg. But, instead of continuing
his voyage up the bay, my lord entered York River, and landed at York
and Gloucester. To the former vessels were added a number of flat-
bottomed boats.
Our movements have not been precipitate. We were in time to take our
course down Pamunkey River, and shall move to some position where the
several parts of the army will unite. I have some militia in Gloucester
county, some about York. We shall act agreeably to circumstances, but
avoid drawing ourselves into a false movement, which, if cavalry had
command of the rivers, would give the enemy the advantage of us. His
lordship plays so well, that no blunder can be hoped from him to
recover a bad step of ours.
York is surrounded by the river and a morass; the entrance is but
narrow. There is, however, a commanding hill, (at least, I am so
informed,) which, if occupied by the enemy, would much extend their
works. Gloucester is a neck of land projected into the river, and
opposite to York. Their vessels, the biggest of whom is a forty-four,
are between the two towns. Should a fleet come in at this moment, our
affairs would take a very happy turn.[16]
WASHINGTON TO IRVINE.
HEADQUARTERS, August 6, 1782.
Sir: — I have to acknowledge the receipt of your two letters of the 1st and 11th of July; the former containing the plan of a proposed expedition, on which you mention you are solicited to take the command, and covering a copy of your letter to the secretary at war[17] on that proposition. I have not given you my ideas on this expedition, as the plan, if adopted, must have began its execution before my letter would have reached you. If attempted, I can only give you my good wishes for its success.
I lament the failure of the former expedition, and am particularly affected with the disastrous fate of Colonel Crawford.[18] No other than the extreme tortures that could be inflicted by savages, I think, could have been expected by those who were unhappy enough to fall into their hands; especially under the present exasperation of their minds, for the treatment given their Moravian friends. For this reason, no persons, I think, should, at this time, submit themselves to fall alive into the hands of the Indians.[19]
August 6, 1783
Gottlieb, George: Sailed to America with the 1782 recruit shipment. He deserted at Halifax on August 6, 1783. [20]
August 6, 1806: Francis II, the last Holy Roman Emperor, abdicates, thus ending the Holy Roman Empire. But this was not a great loss to this European monarch since he had already declared himself Francis I, Emperor of the Austrian Empire in 1804. It was in this more powerful role that he would have an effect on the life of European Jews, For example, in 1820, Francis I of Austria required rabbis to study sciences and use the language of the country in prayers and sermons. As a result, a rabbinical seminary opened in Padua in 1829. While moves such as this were supported by followers of the Haskalah, they were viewed with suspicion, if not outright dread, by those opposed to the modernists.[21]

1807: In 1807 after the bloody battle of Eylau, Napoleon decided to build a military camp in Osterode. The French engineers constructed a palisade around a vast square inside which were streets bordered by wooden huts. Each street bore the name of one of the latest victories. The Imperial Guard had its own camp, built with a degree of luxury. In the centre was a brick building where Napoleon installed himself.
The Guard was a priviledged troop. Napoleon wrote; "When ... the Guard meets ... the Line en route, the latter shall form in line of battle and port arms or present sabers ... Flags and standards shall be dipped, The colonels and commanders shall exchange salutes."[23] Ancestor Joseph LeClere was said to have been on of Napoleans Bodyguards.

August 6, 1880,
To the Members of the Pioneer Association:
"When I learned of the proposed
meeting of pioneers to be held near Springfield this month, my
great wish was that I might be one of the number there
assembled: but circumstances are such as will prevent my
attendance. I have some recollections of the early days and
doings in this region, which I will give to the meeting on
paper, if I cannot give them in person. I was born in Harrison
Co., Ky., in Nov., 1795. My father, with part of his family
came to Ohio in the fall of 1802, and settled on Buck Creek
north of Springfield. At that time I was sick and unable to
come, so father left me with my mother and younger children in Kentucky
until the next spring, when he returned and brought us to Ohio.
Thus, it will be seen, my residence in Ohio is as old as the
State itself. On our way up to where my father had selected a
home, we passed through Dayton, then a small town; through what
was called Tapman's Prairie, and crossed Mad River at old Indian
town. This river my mother said, was certainly rightly named,
for it was such a rapid stream. Three men -- David Lowry,
Jonathan Donnell and John Denny -- lived near there. We stopped
overnight with My. Denny. Donnell afterward hung himself. We
again crossed Mad River, and continued on our way up to Buck
Creek. The first man we met was Robert Renick, and soon
afterward we met Col. William Ward, a leading man of that day,
and afterward Clerk of the Court at Urbana. One day, soon after
we settled on Buck Creek, and father and the older boys were
away from the house, four Indians -- two young men and two old
ones -- came to our house and called for their dinners. Mother
provided a dinner for them, and while they were eating she asked
one of the young men if they were at the burning of Col.
Crawford. He said that the two of the older ones were. She
then told him that Col. Crawford was her grandfather. When he
notified the other ones of that fact they all immediately
stopped eating and appeared somewhat alarmed; but she told them
to go on with their eating and not be uneasy. She then asked
them if they could tell her about the death of Maj. Harrison.
They told her that he had been squibbed to death with powder at
Wapatomica, near Zanesfield, Logan Co. She then told them that
Harrison was her father. This report fully corroborated one
given by a man named Trover, I think, who was a prisoner at the
same time with Maj. Harrison. He said he had seen Harrison's
body black and powder-burned.
Another Indian trouble was in the time of Gov. Tiffin. He was advised of coming trouble and he sent word to Tecumseh at Wapakoneta to meet him at council at Springfield, with eighty warriors. The picked men of the (Sha---) tribe. I remember one of them in particular, a man by name of Goodhunter who had formerly camped near our house, when on a hunting expedition. He was a fine a specimen of perfect physical man as I ever saw. The council was held and the pipe of peace was smoked. The following incident occurred in connection with the smoking: A Dr. Hunt had a clay pipe and Gov. Tiffin used it for the occasion. When he had filled the pipe and started it, he passed it to Tecumseh who looked at it a moment, and then throwing it away he brought forth his tomakawk-pipe, and after starting it handed it to Gov. Tiffin. I heard Tecumseh's speech as he made it through an interpreter, and I never heard a finer orator than he appeared to be. The first merchants in Springfield were two Frenchmen named Dubangh and Lucroy. They had their goods in a log cabin between what is now Limestone and Market streets, an Main streets, on Main street. Their goods were better suited to the Indian trade than to any other. When they left, a man by the name of Samuel Simington came on with a stock, and he built the first frame house in Springfield, on the southwest corner of Limestone and Main streets, where Baldwin's building now stands. Siminton afterward sold out to Pierson Spining and went to New Carlisle, and built mills on Honey Creek. The first tavern-keeper was Griffith Foos, who kept on the corner of Main and Spring streets. He had one border for several years that I remember very well. He owned a great deal of land around there. He was a fine looking man, wearing very heavy black side whiskers, but having a head of hair as white as snow. He always took special pains to keep his hair and whiskers in order. The first camp meeting held in that region, and the first one I ever attended, was held about where the County Infirmary now stands. It was conducted by two brothers named Thomas and Richard Clark. They were nicknamed "Newlights." Their hearers got the jerks, both men and women, and kept on jrking until they were exhausted. One Jack Eeles, said to have been the wickedest man in that county, went to one of their meetings drunk, making fun of them and claiming that their jerking was all a sham. But the jerks got hold on Jack and got him down and would not let fo of him. He became so exhausted that his friends had to carry him home. Jack afterward went into the army, was in the war of 1812, and was killed at the battle of Lundy's Lane, in July, 1814. (July 25) My father was the first settler on Buck Creek, (---) Lagonda. He planted the first apple orchard in that part of the country, and some of the trees were still standing a year or two ago
James Shipman was the first tailor in Springfield. Walter Smallwood was the first blacksmith. Cooper Ludlow was the first shoemaker. James (---), the proprietor of Springield, lived in a double log cabin which stood on the hill opposite Barnett's mill, near where the public school building now stands.
I never saw but two deformed Indians. One of these had no under jaw. The other one, called Bateast, had a monster of a nowe. If you wish to see how his nose appeared, just take a common-sized turnip, cut it in two, and place a half on each side of a large raddish, and then you can see Bateast's nose.
He and his brother-in-law, Roundhead[26], and Goodhunter all went off and joined the British army and never came back. Roundhead lived at a little town now called Roundhead, in the southwest corner of Hardin County. Bateast's home was at a place a few miles west of Roundhead, then called Bateasttown. In 1803 or 1804, Congress passed a law donating 3 per cent of all money received from sale of lands for use on roads. This donation was called the 3 per cent fund. One Capt. Moore and his brother Thomas, in 1805 took a contract to open a road from Franklinton to Springfield. When they got within a few miles of Springfield with the road, they made a frolic of the job, and invited all the people around to come and help tem, so they might go into Springfield in one day. The people turned out and put the road through in one day and that night they had a big super and ball at Foos', which was a grand affair. There was great rejoicing that the road was done.
Thomas Moore drove the first hogs East from this region. He bought (--) drove from the people on credit. He bought some from one lady named Nancy Reed, promising to bring her a silk dress patten from Baltimore as payment for her hogs. He drove his hogs to Baltimore, but as his expenses on the trip were more than the original cost of the hogs, he lost money, and could not pay in full for the hogs when he got home. But he brought Nancy her silk dress and she had the honor of wearing the first silk in this part of the country, and at the same time, the satisfaction of getting payment in full for her hogs, a thing which nobody else could say. But Moore paid all a proportional part, and promised the remainder as soon as he could get it. It was several years before he made payment of these debts, but he did it after he got back from serving with Hull in his campaigns. He had saved enough out of his wages to cancel his hog debts. Moore lived and died on the farm where he first settled.
During the first years of our life there, there was only one company of militia in all that region now comprising Clark, Champaign and Logan Counties, so thinly was it populated. My fathers's place was the usual drill ground and I knew every man in all that territory. By 1812, the country was so well settled that there were nine companies, commanded by the following Captains: Black, McCord, Vance, Barrett, Lemon, Cox, Kiser, Stewart, and one other whose name I have forgotten. Nearly sixty years ago, I helped to survey
all the islands in the Mississippi River from the mouth of the
Des Moines River to the mouth of the Illinois. In my early
days, I crossed the Alleghany Mountains twelve times on
horseback. In my early days, I crossed the Alleghany Mountains twelve times on horseback. As may be known from a statement of my birth, I am nearly eighty-five years of age, and was four years old at the death of George Washington. My health is tolerably good. At times I feel very well, and at other times somewhat feeble. Some years ago, my eyesight began to fail, and for the last ten years I have been entirely blind. I claim to be the first man who named "Honest Old Abe" for President. I lacked but a few days of being old enough to vote at James Monroe's first election in 1816. My first vote was for Monroe in 1820, at his second election, when he received the entire vote of the Electoral College, less one.
My votes for Presidents have been as follows: 1824 Adams; 1828 Clay; 1832 Clay; 1836, Harrison; 1840, Harrison; 1844, Clay; 1848, Taylor; 1852, Scott; 1856, Fremont; 1860, Lincoln; 1864, Lincoln; 1868, Grant; 1876, 1872, Grant; 1876, Hayes; and in 1880 I hope to vote for Garfield, which would make me sixteen Presidential votes.
Respectfully, Theophilus McKinnon."

August 6, 1942: This was the first convoy of Jews from the unoccupied zone who had been handed over by the Vichy authorities to the Nazis. The convoy came from the camp at Gurs, where numerous German Jews had been interned since 1940. It left Gurs for Drancy on August 6 with 1,000 Jews.

• The “Jewish Bomb” as some call it hastened the end of the war and save the lives of untold numbers of Allied soldiers and sailors who would have died during an invasion of Japan as well as the millions of lives of Japanese who would have also died. Without the work of Oppenheimer, et al, the war would have lasted anywhere from three to five years longer.[33][43]

August 6, 2010: Even with the advent of DNA as a research tool, the revelation of our Jewish ancestry adds a sense of devastation as the reality of the consequences of the German’s attempt to exterminate an entire race from the planet almost succeeds.[1][45]
Hitler did not invent the hatred of the Jews, he only perfected it.[2][46]
• The Diaspora or scattering of our family coincides with the scattering of the Jewish people as a whole throughout Europe. Through DNA we are bridging the gap of generations to find connections that were previously unknown. A bridge that goes back to the earliest days of Judaism.[3][47]
After World War II thousands of Jews were assembled in displaced person’s camps in Bavaria; the last one to be closed down was in Foehrenwald. Almost all of the 1,000 Bavarian Jews who survived the Holocaust were saved because they were married to Germans or were born of mixed marriages.[14]
Perhaps there are more ancestors out there, that survived.

[16] Title: Memoirs, Correspondence and Manuscripts of General Lafayette, Author: Lafayette
[17] See Irvine to Lincoln, July 1, 1782, Appendix B.
[18] In a letter addressed by Washington to President William Moore, of Pennsylvania, dated July 27, 1782, is this reference to Crawford: “It is with the greatest sorrow and concern that I have learned the melancholy tidings of Col. Crawford’s death. He was known to me as an officer of much care and prudence, brave, experienced and active. The manner of his death as given in letters of Gen. Irvine, Col. Gibson, and others, was shocking to me; and I have this day communicated to the honorable, the congress, copies of such papers as I have regarding it.”
Col. Crawford, before starting upon the Sandusky expedition, made his will, as follows:
“In the name of God, amen. I, William Crawford, of the county of Westmoreland, and state of Pennsylvania, being in perfect health of body and sound memory, do make, ordain and constitute this my last will and testament, in manner and form following, that is to say: I give and bequeath unto my much beloved wife, Hannah Crawford, all that tract of land whereon I now live, situate, lying and being on the river Yonghiogheny, in the county and state aforesaid, during her natural life. I do also give andbequeath unto my said wife one negro man named Dick, and one mulatto man Daniel; also all my household furniture and stock of every kind and nature whatsoever, for and during her natural life, and after the decease of my said wife, the above mentioned negroes, Dick and Daniel, to descend to my loving son, John Crawford, and after his decease, to the heirs of his body lawfully begotten.
“I give and bequeath unto my loving son, John Crawford, and his heirs lawfully begotten, five hundred acres of land to be laid off out of lands located down the river Ohio by me, to be laid off by my executors, reserving to my son the choice of said lands, and also the tract of laud whereon I now live at Stewart’s Crossings, at the decease of my said wife, Hannah, and at the decease of said son, John Crawford, to descend to his son, William Crawford, and his heirs forever; but if he die without heirs, then and in that case to descend to his ‘next oldest brother. And I do give and bequeath unto Moses Crawford, son of the above said John Crawford, and to his heirs forever, four hundred acres of laud, to be laid off out of my lands located down the river Ohio as before mentioned.
“I do give and bequeath unto Richard Crawford, son of the above said John Crawford, and to his heirs forever, four hundred acres of land, out of, and to be laid off as above mentioned. I do give and bequeath unto Anne McCormick, daughter of William and Effe McCormick, four hundred acres of land, to be laid off as above mentioned. Also I do give and bequeath unto Anne Connell, all that tract of land whereon she now lives, lying and being on the north side of Youghiogheny river, about two miles from said river and on Braddock’s old road, together with all the stock of every kind whatsoever, and all the household furniture and farming utensils now in her possession, for and during her natural, life; and after the said Anne Connell’s decease, my will is and I do hereby ordain that the said land, goods and chattels of every kind whatsoever be sold by my executors and the money arising therefrom be equally divided amongst her four children, to-wit: William, James, Nancy and Folly; but nevertheless, in case the said Anne Connell should think it more proper that the two boys, or either of them, the said William or James, should keep the said land, etc., that then and in that case the said lands, goods and chattels of every kind be appraised, and one equal fourth of the said appraisements be paid to the other children as they may arrive at the age by law affixed, or the survivor of them.
Also, I do give and bequeath unto William Connell, son of the said Anne Connell, and his heirs forever, five hundred acres of land located by me down the Ohio river, there being a warrant for that quantity in his name from the land office, Virginia. I also give and bequeath unto James Connell, son of the said Anne Connell, and his heirs forever, five hundred acres of land down the river Ohio, there being a warrant for that quantity in his name, which was also located by me as above mentioned, as soon as they arrive at full age. Also, I do give and bequeath unto Nancy and Polly, daughters of said Anne Connell, six hundred acres of land located by me down the river Ohio, to be equally divided between them by my executors.
And my will is that after my accounts are adjusted and settled and all my just debts and legacies and bequeaths paid, that all and singular my estate, real and personal, of every kind whatsoever (except a mulatto boy named Martin, which I give to my son John Crawford, and a mulatto girl named Betty, which is to continue with my wife Hanhah), be equally divided between my three beloved children, viz.: John Crawford, Efle McCormick and Sarah Harrison, and their heirs forever. And I do will, constitute, and appoint my much beloved wife, Hannah Crawford, my loving brother, John Stephenson, and William Harrison, executrix and executors of this my last will and testament, ratifying and confirming this to be my last will and testament.
“In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affix my seal this sixteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-two.
“W. CRAWFORD. [SEAL.]
“Signed, sealed, published, pronounced and declared by the said William Crawford as his last will and testament in presence of us: Thomas Gist, John Euler, Mary Wright, Nancy McKee.”
